Junk Girl

One of my favorite things to do is to spend a Sat. hunting for a treasure at flea markets, thrift stores & garage sales. Today my sister & I did just that. And found a few things we couldn't live without out.

The little desk was a steal at $125. It's solid and the only thing I have to do to it is change the knob on the front. Perfect for the tv in the kitchen. This canvas print is by a local artist and I LOVE that it has all the great things about Tulsa on it. Found this basket to hold all my tea bags, sugar & creamer. Looks right at home hanging next to the coffee pot. And the silver tray was only $7. Keeps the counter sticky free from the flavored syrup spills. Could not leave without getting this shake blender for my hubby. He is a ice cream maniac and we have burned up several blender motors making shakes. How cool is that vintage green color? A older couple from Ks. buys and rebuilds these. The only one who will be more excited is Jade, my daughter in law. Those two love ice cream. I'm thinking shakes for Sunday's dessert.

It has been forever since I have spent a day "junkin". Can't wait to do it again. It's in my blood what can I say. Is it garage sale season yet?????

For the love of coffee.....

I LOVE COFFEE!!!! No I REALLY LOVE COFFEE! My day just doesn't go well for anyone if I don't have my coffee. I love my Viking coffee maker that has a timer so I wake to the wonderful smell of coffee before my feet even hit the floor in the morning.

Not only do I LOVE COFFEE but I LOVE COFFEE in a pretty mug. This is one of my favs. It makes me smile and want to say "well good morning yourself handsome " when I see it. Yes it says "Good Morning Gorgeous". Who doesn't want to see this every morning. Right?

AND then one day I stopped in Anthropologie and found these beauties. They are not only pretty but feel good in your hand too. All you coffee junkies know what I mean. At $12 a mug they are more than any coffee mug I have ever bought but they do make me smile and maaaaybe it's me but my coffee does seem to taste better in them. So even if you only get one, treat yourself to a pretty mug and enjoy that morning cup of joe.

Welcome back March

I love the month of March. To me it says spring is right around the corner, that days will get longer, that I can put away my uggs and dig out my wedges & strappy sandles. That soon we can sleep with the windows open and listen to the crickets & tree frogs that sing to us when the days get warmer. Today for me means I can put away my heavy winter bedding and dress my bed in something lighter and pretty just for spring. I know, I know we live in Ok. for that reason the electric throw is tucked under the bed just incase.
It means that soon things in my yard will be blooming and the birds will be back once again for a visit.
Everything seems fresh and new.
It also means that cozy nights by the fire, big bowls of comforting chili, days to cold for anything but napping on Sat will soon come to an end. But I can honestly say that I LOVE ALL four seasons and LOVE what each one brings us.

Happy March!!!
